gym gym gym gym that's all I hear you say !

Just came back from my second spin class !
Right from the beginning I was already dying from where the seat comes into contact with my temple (ie. my body, because 'my body is a temple'). However once I got into it, I could barely notice which was good :)
During the first spin class, my base gear was 1 (doesn't get any lower folks), my first gear was about 3, second gear was about 5 and top gear was about 11.
Today my base gear was 8, first gear was 11, second about 15 and top gear was 18/19 !! :) (and I was barely ever on base gear, about 3 minutes out of the 45min class)
Now I don't know, maybe it was the bike but it felt pretty good to look at the gear and be able to turn it up that much. If it was the bike, then none the less, massive confidence boost ! (This now explains how the middle-aged man next to me in the last class was on base gear 11)
I was also going to do a yoga class but dad was driving past and I wasn't too fond of walking home so another time perhaps :)

I know my gym routine isn't very effective and I may be judged or scrutinized by whoever, however I am putting effort in, I am actually going to the gym for whatever exercise and I am proud of myself for that :)
Proud that I am doing something to change what I don't like, to feel better about myself.
As soon as I feel comfortable in the gym, I will do more effective things to get faster results, however I am happy to just find my feet at the moment :)

Gone are the days of not eating properly, because I much prefer to be a little more 'human-sized' than what the scales may say. Because yeah, I'm a slightly different composition but at least it's healthy ! And I can walk around with a smile on my face, confidence in my belt (do people even carry things in their belt?) and I am not putting myself at risk ! :) Oh yeah, and eat food which I'm rather fond of !

On another note, I have the worst neck cramp. It's at the front, to the side. You know when you turn your head and you can feel that muscle sticking out if you touch it? Bingo, ouchies !!
Actually not gym related though, I think I slept in a funky position.

anywho, I am going to make pancakes for breakfast (mum wanted them, I swear !)

au revoir. xo
